On Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS, USB Network Gate may fail to determine the user in X11 session. Due to this, adding the current user to eveusb group is not possible while installing USB Network Gate via Software Center.
Here’s the instruction on how to add the current user to eveusb group.
Via Linux Terminal:
Execute:
sudo usermod -a -G eveusb $USERNAME
su $USERNAME
As the result, you can start the GUI from the current terminal.
To apply the changes to session Х11, you’ll need to log out and then log in again.
Via gnome-system-tool (GNOME)
